Current Actions: This Notice proposes 

the approval of the IMLS Evaluation of 

Grant Programs Funded by the ARPA 

and the CARES Act. In direct response 

to the COVID–19 pandemic, IMLS 

awarded roughly $250 million in ARPA 

and CARES Act funds to State Library 

Administrative Agencies, libraries, and 

museums. The proposed information 

collection covers the four largest 

funding programs, which account for 

about 99% of funding: Grants to State 

ARPA State Grants, Grants to State 

CARES Act State Grants, CARES Act 

Grants for Museums and Libraries, and 

American Rescue Plan for Museums and 

Libraries. Given their more targeted 

focus, the American Rescue Plan for 

Native American/Native Hawaiian 

Museum and Library Services CARES 

Act Grants for Museums and Libraries 

and CARES Act Grants for Native 

American/Native Hawaiian Museum 

and Library Services programs will be 

studied separately from this proposed 

information collection with special 

emphasis placed on using culturally 

responsive evaluation methods. The 

proposed evaluation of IMLS’s ARPA 

and CARES Act grant programs will 

include a review of the relevant 

administrative processes and the 

distribution and use of the funds in 

order to improve the agency’s 

understanding of the effectiveness of the 

program and the lessons learned, 

identify gaps and needs in continuing 

post-recovery, and improve or inform 

future design, technical support, and 

distribution of special use funds as part 

of an overall emergency response plan. 

This study will include conducting 75 

semi-structured interviews (73 

individual interviews, 2 group 

interviews, totaling 75 interviews and 

79 expected participants) coupled with 

a secondary data collection effort of 

reviewing library and museum 

administrative data, ARPA and CARES 

Act grant programs awardee reporting, 

and a literature review. The 60-day 

Notice was published in the Federal 

Register on July 28, 2023 (Vol. 88, No. 

144). The agency received no comments

strategically for the long-term care and 

conservation of their collections. The 

national collections assessment program
